<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mount suffered an ankle injury in the early stages of last weekend&#8217;s Club World Cup final triumph over Palmeiras.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">After only 30 minutes, England&#8217;s international was substituted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mount, who has seven goals and eight assists this season, is now expected to miss at least two weeks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As a result, he will miss the Blues&#8217; trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday, as well as their return to the Champions League when Lille visits Stamford Bridge next week for a last-16 tie.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s team will then face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, February 27 at Wembley Stadium.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chelsea will have a chance to win a second title this month, although Mount is unlikely to play.</span></p>
